New Mexico Leaders Advocate for Investments in Quantum and High-Tech Industries
DEFENSE
New Mexico state leaders are pushing for increased investments in high-tech industries, particularly quantum technology, to enhance national defense and capitalize on the sector's potential worth. A proposed three-year plan, costing $1.2 million, aims to boost the quantum industry through tax credits, grants, and research funding, although specific legislation for funding is currently lacking. The University of New Mexico has also requested resources to support its quantum research initiatives.
